WUHAN CITY, China, Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tianli Agritech, Inc.
(NASDAQ:OINK) ("Tianli" or the "Company"), a leading producer of breeder hogs,
market hogs and black hogs, headquartered in Wuhan City, China, today
announced that it received written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market
("NASDAQ") on October 15, 2013 confirming that the Company has regained
compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for
continued listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
As previously announced, on February 6, 2013, NASDAQ notified the Company that
the bid price of its common stock had closed at less than $1.00 per share over
the previous 30 consecutive business days and, as a result, the Company was
not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)("Rule"), the minimum bid price
rule. The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until August 5, 2013, to
regain compliance with the Rule. Additionally, on August 2, 2013, NASDAQ
notified the Company that it had been granted an additional 180-day extension
period, or until February 3, 2014, in which to regain compliance with the
Rule.
On October 15, 2013, NASDAQ notified the Company that the closing bid price of
its common stock has been at $1.00 per share or greater for 10 consecutive
business days, from October 1, 2013 to October 14, 2013. Accordingly, the
company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)("Rule"),
and the matter is now closed.
If the Company remains in compliance with the minimum bid price Rule, its
Board of Directors is not likely to use the authority given to it at the
Company's shareholder meeting on October 11^th to cause a reverse split of the
Company's common stock. Any decision regarding a reverse stock split will be
made by the Board of Directors in light of the relevant factors at the time a
reverse split is considered by the Board.
